Color coding is used to help distinguish between individual items in certain groups of Easy Projects entities by giving each of them a different color. This allows two birds to be killed by one stone: it livens up the GUI by making Activity Center more colorful and pleasing to the eye, and, on the other hand, making it easier to tell project and activity attributes and tags apart.
The color coded items include statuses and certain types of custom fields (List and Multi-select).
